Default February Jump Rope and Hula Hoop Challenge

Is it time to hula away those love handles in time for 14th February? Or skip away the Winter blues?

If yes, consider joining this challenge for some less traditional, and very fun, exercise?

In this challenge you can do hula-hooping and/or jumping rope. Your goal is set by you - just state the number of minutes you wish to do in both activities (or only one) in the list.

Please note you don't have to do both if you don't want to!

NB skipping can be tough on the knees, especially if you still have a lot of weight to lose, so please be careful to wear good quality trainers to mimise impact, try a softer surface and stop if it hurts!

NB Hula hooping can be tough on your dignity. Please only attempt it with a silly grin on your face.

How to sign up:
1) Copy and paste your name onto the list in the post below this one
2) State your MONTHLY jump rope minutes goal like this JR 5/20 IF DOING
4) State your MONTHLY hula-hooping minutes goal as HH 5/20 IF DOING
3) Report as often as you like by updating the ENTIRE list

Who's in for February?

I'll eat my pork--I'll eat a steer--Just smooth these bumps off of my rear!
I'll never even look at jelly,Please take the blub out of my belly.
These lips will never taste a sweet, (Oh if I could only see my feet!)
So, please, tonite before I wake,
A few more pounds--Whoosh Fairy--take!

Oh damn it... I'm in, too! I will keep my goals relatively low (I'm kind of bored of hula hooping), but anyway... 30 min HH and 5 min JR today.
